It was observed that many of the candidates were unable to:

1. produce good sketches;
2. label their drawings correctly;
3. define the given terms in relation to stair construction;
4. use sketch to illustrate method of preventing subsoil moisture from penetrating through the walls and floors of a building.

            (2)       made to understand basic building construction activities;
            (3)       exposed to the practical aspect of building construction.
